by Alice Pujo
Born in Rignac, Aveyron, on June 9, 1869, and died in Paris on February 7, 1953, Alice Pujo was a French-language writer known for popular fiction and books for young readers.
She published across the first half of the 20th century, with works including Le Roi de l'or, Rose Perrin, La Huttière, and Renée Gallica. Sources also note that she sometimes used the pseudonym Mme Mottier.
Alice Pujo is especially associated with fiction for younger audiences and with the world of serial and family reading. Her stories were published in widely read periodicals of the time, including La Semaine de Suzette, which helps explain the accessible, story-driven style that still makes her work appealing to curious modern readers.
